[@conorcarroll2810]

I understand how he does it, though his talent and stage presence covers it up very nicely

[@chicasoccer15]

my mouth dropped at the sight of this.. it was pretty cool:D

[@yeahimbored04]

I love how excited he gets when the trick works, like a little kid lol

[@07malonese1]

[@KillerXoX]

simple yet beautiful

[@happymetome]

I love ellen. always make me smile.

[@TheSyriaFreedom2011]

I love the way he talks and how he's excited about his tricks that's cute

[@rockroyal101]

It's honestly pure slight of hand and always being ahead of the spectator, although i could tell every sleight he was doing, to laymen (fancy word for non-magicians) it borderlines pure astonishment.

[@haydensd]

I love magic!

[@SamuelJamez17]

JAMES GALEA ... A SURNAME FROM MALTA I AM MALTESE AND I SUPPORT HIM WATCHING ELLEN VIDEOS WHICH ARE A LONG WAY FROM AMERICA MAN, I LOVE THESE VIDS!!!

[@thedaisygirl30]

OMG ANYTIME A MAGICIAN COMES ON HER SHOW SHE ALWAYS SIGNS THE CARD!!

[@variousct]

Lol he's so adorable! He's so happy XD

[@jedrzejku]

card tricks are awesome

[@xNoSc0p3dx200]

I personally love him the most. Not saying the others on her show are boring, some are much better than this guy but he just has so much fun with this whole thing.

[@bRadicalmagic1]

I love the impromptu style of Ellen's magicians .

[@TheAleksf2007]

All tricks are fairly simple and if u go thru this video couple of times like i did you can figure out what he does quite easily. Its all about perfecting your hand skills to make this look smooth like he does it. He must of shuffled tons of decks to get so good. Nice skills. Well done.

Damn, he is so fun! :)

[@kontrapunkti]

Crazy good!

[@silentz0r]

It's amazing how Ellen didn't pick the joker and he went like "but don't let me see what it is, okay?" and just tried to give her the card again. He's a great magician, thumbs up to Australia :)

[@AitoNitram]

I like the way he gets the card in his pocket the last time, no palming. Sooo sneeaaky!

[@Mongosm]

oh come on. you can't be serious that he fooled you like that.

[@TheBohster]

It was pretty obvious how the card got in the pocket.

[@GravekeepersDuelist]

Yes he did. He put the card back in his pocket when he showed he what palming is. He actually had two cards when he showed her about palming, he showed her putting the card in his pocket and taking it out, but he left her card in his pocket. Notice how he din't show the card in his hand after he pulled it back out of his pocket. He made it disappear and put it back on the top of the deck. That way when he flipped it over it wasn't his card. If you watch closely when he makes the card "disappear," and then brings it back to the deck you can see the card in his hand is the 8 of diamonds. The rest of the trick is simply forcing that card on her, which is really simple. This guy is really good at slight of hand though.

[@rien05]

At first I was pretty depressed that he gave up how he did the trick. Because even though I DIE to figure out how they do it, it just ruins the whole illusion if he simply tells them afterwards. But actually, it was a badass move to "show them" how it was done, only to awe them again with another trick leaving us going "wtf..." That was an amazing trick lol.

[@micajieuvelasco4123]

I think Ellen's happiest when kids are happy.

[@inlovewithpll]

That was so cool !!!!!! 

[@7asano5]

his performance is really smooth. Of course being able to watch the video multiple times really helps in finding out the way he does everything. however, if I was in ellen's place, there is no way I will no.

[@stanko4333]

Awesome routine but i got the most of it i need to admit that is one of the best tricks i can perform thanks to james keep it up bro

[@abdussamiulbasir8291]

nice way to clean the force it will help me too..

[@amandamarie7567]

I would definitely take that card out of his pocket any day....😍

[@emma-yi9ji]

.....Oh.

[@TheLinkeFamily]

Wow, a magician wearing short sleeves, I'm impressed!

[@melaniemertenspolak]

OMG his laugh!

[@MandyyChancee]

cant stop watching magicians on Ellen

[@aidreannataylor6823]

I love the way Ellen is looking at him @ 2:50 lol

[@axelle32]

1:54 you see him watching the cards discreetly. (and 1:46 to 1:52 he's doing that on purpose maybe coz he failed the 1st time so he does again.) That's all I could see, impressive stuff!

[@andreavalasquez8589]

He's cute and full of life

[@strawberryNvanilla99]

his laugh is super contagious

[@SharlenesJourney]

Omg ive always wondered how these worked lol

[@crazydude8893]

Very well performed double lift and palm.

[@latenightcrazies]

MAGIC!!!!

[@TEHsm1th]

I love how the force card is always the 8 or hearts or diamonds

[@tonymacdonald2913]

the second trick is simple look at his hand holding the deck of cards at 2:36, there is a little gap from where his pinky is holding two cards up ( the card under neath is turned over) he picks them up and when he rubs them against his forearm. he just turns them over and then quickly puts the card on top of the deck before anyone notices.

[@adamvertynsabra]

and the weather is hot all the time cause of you guys

[@wadexism]

i like how he snaps his fingers like that :D

[@Usicmagic]

It's pretty good! :D

[@JeremyOlenski]

love this trick, i do the same one, just a little bit differently

[@soccerman2763]

this is crazy good! Thank God i actually know what he does otherwise I'd quit life haha

[@ghossler]

its cool to watch these tricks... and know them :P he did a amazing job though :P

[@JasmineZhang1998]

he is just too good-3

[@katrinasweet5973]

OMG! I need to get to my homework! Just after this one video...

[@geotennis1]

I love his laugh XD

[@LiKEdesignz]

yes man.

[@prasanth28]

His tricks are simple but difficult part is pull it of smoothly in front of a large audience

[@madiexomc]

ELLEN YOU ARE THE REASON FOR ME SLEEPING DURING CLASS

[@noonemadafaka454]

all of them are double lift, and of course great performance

[@MVE200]

Love his new show; "Breaking Magic" on The Discovery Channel :D

[@haydenm5962]

I love the ellen show :D !

[@CourtneySchiffert]

"Yeah, you wanna take it?" Yes Mr. James Galea..... yes I do. ;)

[@Rahaf_98]

The way he laughs 😂😂😂😂💔

[@DamianTheFarmer]

im proud of my self i know how he did everything without looking on comments or rewinding...yeeeaah.

[@niallspotato1964]

woah!!!

[@D2Deez]

2:55 That laugh..He is a master of trickery and has the iconic laugh...The Joker is real..

[@Omega1653]

If people are wondering how it's done, Ellen didn't sign 2 copies, she signed one. The blue card is a joker, but he showed him the blue card as the signed card, he was holding the 2 cards together. That's why he puts it back on the deck before putting it on the table. The way he gets Ellen to pick up the other joker is a bit hard to explain, but there are 2 jokers in the deck. The way he gets the signed card in the pocket is explained. cheers.

[@KonnichiwaX]

the last trick, he has 2 cards in his pocket. and left ellens card in his pocket. easy peasy. nice trick, and he sure has got some fast fingers

[@brandonwu5786]

I like it

[@ahappyrandomperson]

mind..... blown

[@swaggercousins6099]

you sir deserve a cookie

[@jackbarr5213]

Around the 1:53-1:57 mark you can see him look at the bottom card of the deck.

[@shaiwill8656]

Wow

[@EmiRenee36]

magic! :D

[@baysick6738]

Hes full of energy for one thing. Sleight of hand, the speed hes doing these tricks at will do just enough to distract and make them follow along. Also, he used the double lift insanely alot

[@nikajax]

First trick, double lift, smooth controlled

[@wenting0729]

i love how ellen stare at the magician try to figure out what he did

[@ladyGagaFan566]

Whoaaaaaa

[@kitesnil9709]

When i see 1st time it's wow but i jst looked up again easily fideout what he done

[@Bordicci]

i lol at his laugh!

[@josecanyouseeee]

easy magic its so obvious how he does it!

[@ExxplicitGaming]

Double flips are so sneakyyyy

[@betagumon]

he held 2 cards when he was revealing the palming trick to her, one 8 with the signature and one without, and placed the 8with the signature in the pocket and took out the one without the signature. the one that he was showing when he flipped it behind is hand was already the 8 of diamonds =)

[@sofia-lz5kz]

i love how he says, "I promise i won't look"

[@CloakedC]

The grass is always green on the other side I guess. Well, kinda yellow in Australia :D

[@JordyDoust]

Haha I use to perform this on the street a few years ago

[@miamunoz1333]

cool
